Peachtree City

officials want to know what you think about the city's new flag design.

The design,

which can be viewed on the city's Web site, features a silhouette of a

couple walking with a child on a cart path that leads to a sunburst in

the background. It also incorporates the "old" Peachtree City

logo as a tree alongside the cart path.

Citizens are

asked to e-mail their comments to [email protected] . Comments

may also be faxed to the recreation department at 770-631-2541 to the

attention of Sherry McHugh or by mail to the Recreation Department at

191 McIntosh Trail.

McHugh said

Wednesday that only seven comments had been received by the department,

all through e-mail. None of the comments were overwhelmingly in favor

of the new design, she said.

All comments

are welcomed, she added.

One citizen

said it would be more appropriate to use patriotic colors, McHugh said.

Another citizen said the flag design was "too busy" while another

criticized the type style used, McHugh said.

Another citizen

wondered what was wrong with the city's current flag, McHugh said.

The Peachtree

City Recreation Commission is slated to consider the comments at its meeting

Monday, Jan. 28.

Last year,

the City Council charged the recreation department with handling the process

of designing a new city flag, with Councilman Dan Tennant bringing forward

the original idea. As the department researched the issue, it was determined

that an old copy of the city's flag could not be found.

The current

design was shown to council at a meeting last month and drew several comments

from council members.

Councilwoman

Annie McMenamin said she thought the sun in the logo should look more

natural.

"I have

never seen a sun look like that," she said.
